Wishing You a Beautiful Day!

Hello friends! I have a card to share today playing along with a 

few blog challenges.

I started with white card stock. I used Altenew's Book Engravings stamp set and Book Engravings die set.  I stamped the leaves using Memento rich cocoa ink.  I ink blended the leaves layers using variations of clementine, persimmon, and doe inks. 

Once all the images were inked and die cut, I focused on the background.  I started with smoke card stock.  I stamped a Stampin Up retired Sanded background stamp using white pigment ink.  I let the pigment ink dry for a few minutes before I started ink blending around the edges using some hickory smoke ink.  I used an artist brush and starry colors to add some gold splatters. I used foam tape to add the panel to a white card stock base.  

For the sentiment, I used one of the sentiments included in the Hello Beautiful stamp set. I stamped onto black card stock using versamark ink and white embossed.  I die cut the sentiment using Paper Rose Sentiment Strips dies.  I finish the card with a few clear sequins.

I am playing along with The Color Throwdown Challenge, Simon Says Monday Challenge, and  Allsorts Challenge
